My 2001 MDX Basic (01/23/01) does not play back CDRs correctly. Typicallly, the system will playback 1/2 the tracks and stutter through the rest. The CDRs play back correctly on my Pioneer car CD player and my home units (Pioneer & Yamaha). My understanding is that the non-Bose system is made by Alpine and that it is incompatible with CDRs and MP3s

Ours is a touring and plays 'em back no problem. One thing I *have* noticed w/using CDRs is that a deck's ability to play them back is influenced by the brand of media you're using. I have a Sony DVD @ home that will only play CDRs, CDRWs and VideoCDs if they're recorded on Maxell. It doesn't seem to like other brands. I believe this is because of the dyes the different vendors use.

You might try a different brand of CDR to see if that makes any difference...

My Base MDX system (7/2/01) plays 74-minute Mitsui Gold CDRs properly, as well as Taiyo Yuden silver CDR 74s. I haven't tried it on CDR 80s yet, but a surprising number of CD players won't play 80s, as the "pitch" of their tracks is a bit (~7 1/2%) smaller; i.e., the tracks are that much closer.

Bruce - my base system plays cdr's just fine. In fact I am listening to a book on tape with 13 cds right now. I am using plain, generic, 80 minute cdr's that cost $30.00 for 100 with a 30.00 rebate. So they must be the cheapest around. Office max house brand. That being said, try some really good cdr's and see if that makes a difference. You may have a lousy laser in your cd player.

its definitely the CD media..... i had the exact same issue with some cd's i burned on crap media and they skipped all the time.... one thing to try if you dont wanna throw away your cdr's is to burn at a slower speed than the max speed of your burner... i found that allowed me to use the poor quality cdr's fine... for example, i would burn at 4x instead of the 8x max speed...

Please keep in mind recording CD-R at home and playing is dependant on alot of factors. Media, Burner,OS, and Finally Software. If the disc doesnt work try a differant media, always the case , be it blue green or silver. Personally silver CDRs always work the best. for audio format. But like I said you need to experiment once you get the right combo, fly with it.

I am trying to add an aftermarket amp and new speakers speakers to my X. I need to access the factory amp output to speakers to connect the output of my aftermarket amp.

Has anyone ever installed 6.5" speakers into the front door of a 2010 MDX. Also need some know how on installing a crossover to the tweeters on the dash. Where to mount and how to find the correct wire in the door that goes to the front tweeter. Any help would be appreciated.

Looking to add an aftermarket double-din touch screen to my 2009 Acura MDX base non-nav.
Can I use the factory speakers / sub setup with the aftermarket stereo? Are they 4 ohm speakers or something else?

We had our battery replaced yesterday by AAA. Now we can not activate the GPS or radio because the code for the anti-theft does not work. I've entered it repeatedly and there is no feedback, sound or alert that the code is being entered, or even a message that it is incorrect. We bought the car...

My NAV, Radio, RES, and 12 V power adapters went out last night on my 2003 MDX. I believe I checked the radio and ACC fuse, but they looked fine. Anyone know what fuse(s) or relay(s) might cause these to go out. My wife said the last thing she heard was a "pop" sound, then everything went...
